What does the future of Māori media look like, and what will it take to get us there?We sit down with two recognisable broadcasters, Julian Wilcox and Maiki Sherman, to talk about the changing world of media, the future of te reo Māori, and the experiences that have shaped their careers.Julian, the newly named Chair of Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori, shares his thoughts on what it'll actually take to achieve our reo aspirations, including the goal of one million fluent speakers.Maiki takes us through her journey in both Māori and mainstream media, what she's learned along the way, and what it's like returning to broadcasting and working for a Māori organisation.We also get into the rise of social media, how it's changing the industry, and where Māori media fits into it all.And we get a little personal too. Have there been moments in their careers that have weighed heavily on them? Times when they've questioned their beliefs or their mahi?Give it a watch and comment with your whakaaro! We love to hear what you have to say.#SomethingForThePeople
